Copa Libertadores 2008 game results/comments

Arango82 already said it,
Our cantera is the best in Venezuela.

Besides that... CaracasFC has the best coach in all of Venezuela
who should have been chosen to be Venezuela's national team coach
but the president of the federation chose his friend Cesar Farias instead.

This is CaracasFC's God,
everybody else are just disciples

 

Deportivo Cuenca (ECU) 1
Estudantes da Prata (ARG) 0

Not a good start for the 2008 Libertadores for Argentine sides.

 

Group 2
Deportivo Cuenca 1 - 0 Estudiantes LP

 

Muy bien por el fútbol chileno.
El gol de Broli es totalmente mérito de Orellana y Villanueva, 2 jugadores que en MI selección son totalmente titulares (al parecer Bielsa no piensa lo mismo

Clubes por países:
6 argentinos
5 brasileños
3 chilenos
3 mexicanos
3 peruanos
2 colombianos

No me tinca Orellana...se farrea muchas chances...me recuerda al cagon de Fierro.

Is Cucuta as strong as they were last Copa Libertadores? Also the game against Santos should be good

 

Group 5
Dep. Univ. San Martín 2 - 0 River Plate

 

Bien por el "Pepe" Díaz, mal por el "Dilla" Sánchez, 2 que brillaron con la anaranjada.

 

YES!!!!
This Libertadores Couldn't have started any better. 3 shit teams, 3 losses

 

Shocking start so far in this Libertadores. Argentine teams aren't having a good time... sad to see Alexis Sanches perform so poorly for River... but I'm definitely hoping they play at the same level against Catolica.

Cruzeiro and Potosi are 0-0... I'd be expecting the game to be over by now. Hope la Copa keeps it up, very interesting games so far.

 

as is Bolo-Flamengo.

 

I forgot about that game, they should be showing that one instead of this one.

It's starting out well for the Peruvian teams this year, it seems.

 

a very positive experience, yes.




10 minutes left....can Bolo pull it off?

and tomorrow Cienciano/Nacional...

 

Group 4
Coronel Bolognesi 0 - 0 Flamengo

 

Group 1
Cruzeiro 3 - 0 Bamin Real Potosí

 

Group 6
Cúcuta Deportivo 0 - 0 Santos FC

 

idk, I think you might remember Caracas from last year
and to be fair Estudiantes did have to play in the altitude

 

So far everything is looking good for Las Chivas I think even with Chivas second squad they will give Santos problems

 

Yeah, only 3 more to go!

True, and also it was Estudiantes, of the 3, that gave the best image. While San Lorenzo and River played bad, Estudiantes did play good but they were unlucky to not score and suffer the old saying "Goals you don't score, goals you get scored".

I was expecting more from Santos. Cruzeiro looks impressive, San Martín looked pretty good today so did Caracas they scored very nice goals. I think Cienciano-Nacional will be a very very interesting clash.

 

Cruzeiro raped Real Potosi. Potosi barely looked like a professional team. I expected Cruzeiro, who has played good domestic ball after a high ranking in last year's Brazilian premiership, to do well at home vs. a Bolivian team. But this was ownage.

Cruzeiro was barely threatened the whole game. The Cruzeiro goalkeeper barely did anything all game. And if Cruzeiro's players had been a bit luckier with their aim, the game should've ended at least 10-0... and I'm not exaggerating. Such was Cruzeiro's superiority over Potosi.

Forgot to record Santos visiting Cucuta, but I read they had a legal goal disallowed.

EDIT: next week Cruzeiro visits Argentina to face São Lourenço. Should be a good game, as São Lourenço was touted as a favorite with their addition of D'Alessandro, as São Lourenço lost its opener and they'll want to rebound, and as this will be a good test for Cruzeiro (who historically has collected good results vs. Argentine sides).
